设计表

选送单位 组别 科目 教学片段标题：Module 6 Unit 4 Task---Finding out problems and causes

学情分析：

城市里的学生大多家庭环境相对较好，他们没有接触过很贫困的生活，不了解贫困地区的孩子正处于一种什么样的教育、生活环境。这个课包括一系列训练学生听说读写各项技巧的活动。这些活动分三个步骤展开，在每一步骤的进行中，学生能在训练中发现问题、找出泰国北部的穷苦儿童生活贫困的原因、初步讨论自己能为那些孩子做些什么，为第二节课写一份建议信给联合国儿童基金会做好铺垫。整堂课采取以学生训练和小组讨论为主课堂，讲授为辅的教学方式，并使学生能意识到帮助贫困的人们，促进世界经济发展，创造一个更美好的世界的重要性。通过这样的反思、解决问题方式的探究及其文本的生成，培养学生的思维品质、学习能力以及语言能力。

教学目标：

In this period, the students will be able to: 1.

learn to find problems and causes of problems by listening; 2.

know different hard situations poor children are facing and the importance of international aid; 3. arouse the students’ love for the weak and the poor around them.

教学重难点：

1.

教学过程：

C. lack of grass 【设计意图】由于本堂课时间仅为20分钟，因此task当中的听力部分通过改编，以选择题的形式出现。学生能通过听力快速找出答案，并在脑海中形成碰到某种现象找出问题和原因，做到心中对本节课要学的内容非常清晰，从而激发学生对本堂课的兴趣并为接下来的活动做好铺垫。

Step 3. Reading and writing The students need to finish the task according to the passage below and the pictures on the screen. One of the major problems facing the children living in this remote mountainous area is poverty. Children don't get enough meat to eat. There is little money coming to their families and often they cannot afford to purchase important things like medicine.Health care is limited as there are no doctors or nurses in the villages---no one has the means to pay them. Conditions can be primitive. The trees around the villages are gone, so people have to walk further and further away to obtain wood for cooking and heating. Water is also a constant problem. Some villages do not have a well and pump, so they have to fetch water with containers from miles away. Wells need to be dug and pumps need to be put in to pump water into some of the villages. However, if the bump breaks down, repairing it can be troublesome, as an engineer has to come from the nearest town to repair it. Education is another area affected by hardship. Many schools are very small. Some classmates do not even have a roof. Children sit on the floor, and there is often only one teacher to teach all the children even though they are of different ages. There is not enough money to pay the wages of more than one teacher in a village. Another big problem is that many children do not go to school, because they need to help their parents farm the land, collect wood and fetch water.

【设计意图】本环节学生分为四小组，通过观看并每组随机抽选一张图片，在上面的短文中找出对应的句子，粘贴在所给红色卡片对应的地方，且以小组的形式通过讨论，对本组抽中话题中出现的问题写出相应的建议。最后，汇集四个小组的任务卡片，粘贴在一起形成一颗红心。本部分主要以小组的方式进行讨论，通过思维碰撞，形成共识，从而让他们意识到怎样去更好地帮助贫困地区的儿童，培养学生的爱心。

Step 4. Homework The students need to think about the structure of a proposal. 【设计意图】本课时的课后作业让学生在回顾找出贫困地区儿童所存在的问题及其原因的同时，又能为task的第二节课：如何写一封建议信做内容上的准备。
